AT TIE AsYLUM.-The average number
of patients which has been received at the
asylum during the past month has been one
per day. This has never been excelled in the
history Of the institution. There are now
confined in the asylum 476 patients, and ac-
commodations for 4I2 only were provided for
when the building was erected. The last
legislature made an appropriation of $4,000
for the addition of ar re ing to the build
ing, and the work on it vi. begin soon. The
original plan OF the building contains still
another wing, and if the reception of patients
continues as it has been for the past thirty
days this second wing will be rendered ncces-
sary in the not very distant future. The
original plan provided room for Goo patients.

THE BiTTLE OF LIFE.

The battle Of life is not exactly like any
other battle. The second rank Is always
shooting the first in the back. The van guard
is liable TO retreat back over the rear guard;
our artillery is very often turned wrong end 10
and when it goes off with bang, shoots the
day lights out OF our own ranks. Our shot and
shell are Of such material that they would
splaltcr all over the side Of 4 barn, and we
are liable to saber off our own ears when
shifting at an enemy, we send out our spies,
they give our little racket away and come
whooping back on TO us with the enemy at
their heels. Our officers are liable TO 90
away after strange gods. Our baggage trains
are often loaded with temperance tracts and
empty whisky bottles, with our suffers off on
a jam. We pride ourselves on our sharp
shooting, we fire away, we hit somewhere
in the neral universe, then we will swear we
hit exactly what We shot at, when in fact if
the average sharp-shooter would aim at the
north pole they would knock hole in the
Tropic Of Cancer. Wepride ourselves on our
judgment Of human nature when we see a
man that don't look like lawyer, we say a
lunatIc. not much, he may be the assessor.
When look my natural way you say fool.
Sho, Pm thinking Of things you never thought
of. | notice in the battle of life that every
body is always getting behind everybody else
to keep from getting shot. Hardly any one
ever wins victory but some one will want to
contract 10 help him freight ii home No one
ever finds new idea, but they will find an
old man that will swear he knew it ever since
it was little thing We so through this life
swinging on TO the tail OF the new ideas, with
cur golden hair tluttering in the wind, and
our coat tail standing out on a dead level; we
run lorg gauntlet between batteries of ridl
culc and sarcasm, and come out at last with
bad reputation. II any one thinks they
can run fast enough 10 keep out of war, they
are mistaken; for love, hate OF prize, jealousy

should we have the good fortune to escape tho
colo, the toothache, or the tax collector

The Pail Mall GsEstts publishes
lengthy extracts from a new ook en-
titled "Dnrwin's Life" which will soon
be Issued. From these extracts It APP
pears that Darwin as q child was
naughty and as boy he was lazy. He
left Shrewsbury school after seven years
very little wiser than when he went
there. He frankly avowed that he did
not work because he knew that his
father would leave him enough to live
on. He was placed In charge Of DR..
Brother, hut his horror of the sight of
blood and his repugnance 10 dissection
prevented his becoming a doctor. At
ter two years had elapsed his father con-
cluded that he wonld not make doctor,
and designed him for the church, He
was sent 10 Cambridge, where he led q
dissipated life, gambling and neglecting
his studies. The idea of his entering
the ministry was ultimately abandoned.
Darwin was passionately fond OF music.
He frequented the concerts in the col.
lege chapel and paid the choir boys 10
sing in his rooms. Yet his ear was
strangely defective. He was incapable
of perceiving a dissonance, and could
not hum a tune correctly. In 1889 Oar
win became deist and thereafter re-
manned one. "Never in my most ex,
treme fluctuations" he wrote, "was
